Worth Spraying GC8 white
 
Guys opinions needed...

I have a classic impreza, i know it so well, its never let me down, comfortably pushing 300 bhp. However its 95H blue. I dont mind the colour but hearts set on a white classic impreza.

It was the Classic Impreza featured on the front cover of Japanese retro in February with the white Rota formula mesh wheels on it.

my question is, is it worth selling and buying a white one, or keep it, and get it re sprayed white, in the future...

Tempting!

Really double minded on what to do. The hassle of having something resprayed is putting me off, but then wanting a white impreza i can trust leaves me with no option to spray mine.

Hmm, as an owner of a feather white classic id agree its the best colour ha

It all depends on your budget, if its ample, a complete respray with everything removed and all panels done will make it look no different to mine i guess.

if its on a budget, id sell and buy a white one, nothing worse than seeing an x colour on the outside, open the bonnet and you see the original colour etc

Thats true.

Well the budget would be ample as there is no rush, i would be considering this a long term project, however its just making the decision of knowing the fact of how reliable and how well looked after this has been to me, i wouldn't want to sell a buy a white classic that gives me a heep load of problems.

just weighting the options out.

But then again, there are decent ones out there. after a type ra

A good one can cost just as much as a paint job i think

KOEScoob 20 September 2018 02:09 PM

Agree. it costs just as much, and if you dont get the right wrap, your original paint will be in terrible condition once removed.

plus wraps don’t last they say around 7 years , i was quoted for a proper job 3k for a full re spray, on a different car , i did want to change the colour but that’s too much so it’s on hold long term

I think this maybe a long term project hold as well.
Unless of course i come across a decent Type RA.

FYI - My subaru is here @
